Plumbing in Elmira

What’s differentabout Elmira homes.

Elmira’s hard water, its older homes and Woolwich’s permit rules shape a lot of the work we do here.

Water

Hard water, about 19 grains

Elmira’s municipal water is supplied by the Region of Waterloo and runs about 19 grains per gallon, which is hard on our scale. A 30,000 to 45,000 grain softener suits most homes of two to four. See Region of Waterloo’s water softener facts.

Permits

A permit for plumbing work

Most plumbing work on water, sanitary and storm lines needs a building permit from the Township of Woolwich. See the Township of Woolwich building page. We pull the permit and book the inspection as part of the job.

Rural wells

Well water needs its own plan

Homes on a private well around Elmira can have iron, sulphur or bacteria as well as hardness. Ontario offers free private well water testing, and we treat what the results show: iron and sulphur first, then softening.

Storms

Basement flooding

Heavy storms test sump pumps and floor drains. A battery backup sump pump keeps working when the power goes out.
